He made his comeback with his son Charlie Axel Woods, and the father-son dynamic duo fired a final round 57, 15 under par to finish second overall in the tournament at 25 under par.

Although Tiger made his comeback, one question still remains. When will he resume playing full-time on the tour? His long-term caddie Joe LaCava said, “I don’t want to say shocked, but I’m a little pleasantly surprised. A lot of quality long-iron shots. Short game is midseason form. Good touch. Good distance control on the 60-, 70-, 80-yard shots.”

He added, “Obviously, physically you can see he’s in a lot of pain. He’s not even close to being there yet, to be able to walk a golf course and play at that level. But in terms of golf, not all bad.”

Tiger can make a comeback when it comes to playing anytime, but the question still remains: can he walk 18 holes for four rounds?

According to ESPN , “LaCava, with nothing more than a guess, said he expected it could take 18 months from the time of the accident until Woods might be ready. That puts him in August. Who knows?”
